### Importing and Exporting Rules

If you work in a collaborative environment, you will probably want to share rules that are created from different report templates with each other. Using the Rules Tree Editor dialog box, you can easily do this and import someone else's rules by using the Import button, or you can share your own rules with someone else by using the Export button.

A rules file has a ".rul" filename extension.

Importing a Rules File:

1. Access the Rules Tree Editor dialog box.

2. Click the Import button. An Open dialog box appears.

3. Navigate to the directory containing the rules file (.rul) you want to import.

4. Click Open. PC-DMIS imports the rule file into the Rules Tree Editor.

5. Click OK to save the imported rule.

Exporting to a Rules File:

1. Access the Rules Tree Editor dialog box.

2. Click the Export button. A Save As dialog box appears.

3. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the rules (.rul) file.

4. Type a name for the file In the Filename box.

5. Click Save. All rules associated with that object get exported. Someone else can now import and use your exported rules file.
